Vienna, the city of music, has always been synonymous with strings and even more so, a distinctive signature string sound. It's a tone, a timbre, and a style of playing you can only find here - and now in your studio too. Blending the lush, romantic flair of Vienna's musical heritage with the precision and versatility demanded by Hollywood, these high-caliber ensembles were recorded in the large hall of Vienna Synchron Stage, where they performed for hundreds of film and TV scores with the same seating and mic setup. Combining unparalleled artistic expression, a wealth of detailed articulations, natural note transitions, and sonic excellence within an easy-to-use product, these next-generation string ensembles stand in a class of their own. No rosin is needed.
Real-life Viennese Virtuosity. How notes fade in, develop, transition to the next note, and fade out are essential indicators of the authenticity of musical performances. By developing an evolved sampling system, and deriving thousands of articulations from beautiful real-life performances, the well-rehearsed team of musicians and engineers at Vienna Synchron Stage have succeeded in preserving the supreme artistry of Vienna's brilliant string players. The result elevates these string ensembles to the next level of liveliness and expressive potential.
Expressive Authenticity. The magic of string ensembles is in the way expert musicians perform note beginnings and releases, and that's exactly what the Vienna team captured with the long notes, legatos, and portamentos of Synchron Strings Pro. Dial in a marcato attack, a soft attack, or an even softer crescendo and you'll hear what the musicians performed without having to shape a tone using MIDI controllers. The same goes for espressivo notes where the originally played phrasings exhibit a natural quality that is inherently different from MIDI-manipulated notes.
Fast Performances. Using a new recording approach, the Vienna team tested the musicians' mental stamina as well as their skill. By placing the ensembles in the simulated "pressure-cooker" environment of an actual scoring session while recording several thousand fast phrases, the editing team has been able to extract short elements that are bursting with authentic energy and drive. These "agile" legatos let you play all imaginable runs and figures in all tempos, with the natural flow and authentic note transitions automatically provided by the Synchron Player.
Tutti Presets. Synchron Strings Pro not only offers individual presets of each of the five ensembles, but also tutti mappings and octave combinations that provide the entire articulation structure of the ensembles, all with polyphonic legato. Tutti presets feature the original voicing stacked over a six-octave span, and condensed voicing over a four-octave span. With octave combinations, you get two ensembles each playing in octaves, such as first and second violins, violas and cellos, or cellos and basses, etc.
